ÖHNE UND TÖCHTER VON REINMAR,

WITH A DIFFERENT LAWSPEAKER, comes new terms for the Lawmen of the moot. Lawman Estmund von Ehrenwald having been elected to the higher office of Lawspeaker in respect to the late Princess Adalfriede’s wishes, and the other Lawman, Hauptmann Isolde von Kanunsberg reaching the natural end of their term. Thus, an election for new and fresh Lawmen is called to take their place and bring Reinmar forward.

We first thank Hauptmann Isolde von Kanunsberg for their service as a Lawman and pray for them proper recompense for their efforts in duty.

In the Landtag Assembly of 2004, for the first act as Lawspeaker, Estmund called for an election for the new Lawmen and two names were put forth for nomination as candidates:

• Unterlandser Adalwin von Kretzen, Geehrte of Reinmar
  
   
• Unterlandser Johann von Reinhurst, Geehrte of Reinmar

Both nominees were voted in with no voiced objections or concerns and were thus ratified as Lawmen with their due authority and responsibilities. May Gott help them.
 

After the elections, the floor of the moot was left open to those seated to put forth their proposals.
 

Adelmar von Kanunsberg spoke up with two:

• First, an act to enforce by law traditional clothing to be worn in moots thereafter with omission being punished by Weregild.
   
  • Within the act, the establishment of the position of Warder:
     
    • To steward the moot hall and those seated with drinks and food
       
    • To record attendance by maintenance and brandishing of a cedar stick
       
    • To record votes on an act by usage of a carving pillar
       
    • Enforce the traditions of etiquette and fashion amongst the seated with the aforementioned cedar stick
       
    • Refusing entry to those without the privilege of entering the moot hall with the aforementioned cedar stick
       
  • The Warder is to be unilaterally appointed by the Lawspeaker.
     
• Second, an act to enforce by law upon the families of Reinmar to uphold and enact the rites for those who have died among them.
   
  • By law, it would be disrespectful to leave a body unburied and not given its proper rites. Disrespect of the body and failure to uphold the reverence of the rites of the dead are punishable with a weregild.
     
  • Specific punishments are by the discretion of the Lawspeaker and so too are the duties of enforcing these punishments through or without the Bailiff of Reinmar.

 

Both proposals were set to a vote and both edicts were passed unanimously despite rancorous debate.

 

 

Both edicts have passed into law by mandate of the Landtag. Thus the Kanun be amended accordingly.
